Same one I use with the chemical guys bubble gum foam. Truck smells like Boozaka bubble gum ever time I wash it bringing back childhood memories ?.
I use the melon scent. Every time I wash my truck I'm hungry afterward. ?

These were waiting for me when I got home today. I got the rears installed but it’s going to be about a week before I have the time for the fronts. It’s gonna be a tough wait. ?

You really need to start paying more attention on here Jim. Send it all back and I'll hook you up with the good stuff. ?

The foam cannons are easy to use. Put the foam soap in the bottle and fill the rest with water. I use distilled water so there's no contaminants in there. Soap the whole truck down, let sit for a couple minutes as the foam with grab the dirt and drop it down. Then I wash it with a microbe mitt, rinse and dry.
It's a lot of work trying to keep up with the shine on your truck Dave. I don't have a shady spot on my driveway from about 10 am until bedtime. Makes it tough to do it all before the soap dries. I do think the ceramic wax from last year helped it dry off with the microfiber towels better than other waxes I've used over the years.

This forum has been the ruin of me.

Financially, physically, and now emotionally.

Okay, far too many great ideas for things I needed to get - from side steps to bezels to floor liners for the financial ruin, then the damper for my physical destruction (not that I was doing anything good for myself physically anyway), and now ... I'm turning into a real fancy pants kind of guy. I used to be okay with God washing my car (I may have washed my Scion 4 times in 16 years, I did vacuum it but never much for the exterior).

But this forum has now fully and completely beaten me down and this is what I got today:

And I got it straight from Greenworks with a Father's Day savings of $100! Normally $399 but just $299. Still makes me bitter though, a pressure washer?

What's next? A foam cannon? Oh, what have I become!

Note: to be fair, I did rationalize that I needed this to prep the driveway for my summer asphalt repair project. =p

PS - What foam cannon do you recommend? I'm not asking for me, it's for a friend! =D

That looks really nice. I'm so on the fence about this. I do love the look and I also like the subtlety of no color, ugh, I'm so wishy washy on this (I didn't use to be wishy washy, I blame @AzScorpion and his mind-bending damper-persuasion powers!).

Do you use the built-in soap tank? And then the soap nozzle? Ugh, I know nothing about this kind of thing ...

Thanks! =)

It looks really custom and, of course, makes it easier for others to see what truck it is. I'm pretty proud to have a Ranger, so I'll probably get letters too. Now to decide what to use on Race Red!

Thanks Brian! =)

I don't use the soap tank. If I want soap, I use a soap cannon.
